First Timers Japan Itinerary (Osaka + Tokyo)

hello! looking for any feedback (good or bad) for our itinerary. we’re a mid-30s couple travelling to Japan for the first time this December.

  1. Since it seems like you’re into gaming (or Pokemon at the very least) I’d reccomend checking out Radio Kaikan, Super Potato, and Mandarake Complex while you’re in Akihabara

  2. Tsukiji is going to be most shops closed by 2pm so unless you had a specific spot in mind for dinner that is open later I’d recommend putting it into one of the days you don’t have a breakfast lined up. Your Jan 3 day in Ginza is probably geographically the easiest to pull off with that.
